Tribute to the American Indian by Peter Toth

Peter is traveling across America, carving memorial gift monuments, one for each state, dedicated to the American Indian.  The city of Colquitt is privileged to have the only such one in the State of Georgia.  It is 23' tall and carved from a red oak tree - located next to the Welcome Center on Hwy 27

Cotton Hall - Home of Swamp Gravy, Georgia's Folk Life Play

Cotton Hall was built in the early 1930's as a Cotton Warehouse.  This remodeled historic building now houses The Storytelling Museum and the Theatre for Swamp Gravy productions.

Muriel - Escape from Alcatraz

Pictures the story of two brothers, originally from Colquitt GA,  who, back in 1962, are the only persons to ever successfully escape from Alcatraz  (or so the story goes).

The story can be found at  http://www.ruskinhistory.org/anglin-brothers.htm  

In 1979 a movie was released "Escape from Alcatraz" starring Clint Eastwood,  and of course Colquitt's own Swamp Gravy also put out their rendition of the story entitled "Gospel of the Rock" in 2006.
